Stay up to date on progress of the Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Program
This project is predicted to impact traffic in North Portland. North Portland neighborhoods due West of I-5 (Overlook, Arbor Lodge & Kenton) will especially be impacted. Traffic may seep into the neighborhoods to secondary streets as vehicles exit off of I-5 to avoid congestion.
